Snake Eyes

Hello I'm Badger Nin…I suppose you could just call me badger or something I dunno anywho…I believe this will be my first story every to post here . I hope that's not so strange, anyway this is a Naruto fan fiction Oo oh my sooo original… but guess what? This isn't about Naruto at ALL! Orochimaru, one of the freakiest characters ever to be made in anime returns here and we go back in the past to when he was still a cute and very creepy little kid and the stuff he faced then.

You will meet Tsunade and Jiraiya again as well as some people we all know as adults as very cute and feisty little kids…oh fun fun fun!

There will be laughing, crying, blood letting and a whole lot of sugar involved so let's start this thing already!

Ch.1

The new kid

"Heeeey Tsunadeeee" a voice whispered from the window "time to get up" a knock sounded and yet, no answer, "Tsunade! "A frowning face appeared upside down in the fog covered window "WAKE THE HELL UP! You're going to be late for the orientation!"

"heh" the boy laughed loudly as a freaked out squawk sounded from her bed and the window was violently thrown open revealing a wide eyed blonde girl still in her bamboo print pajamas and sporting a rather bad case of bed head "Say WHAT?" she shrieked as she looked out blinking at the fuming boy outside, a large lump already forming on his forehead.

He crossed his arms and then rubbed his shiny forehead protector trying to look disinterested whilst his face was turning red " oh nothing, just that the orientation is going to begin without you that's all ….oh and one more thing…" he winked and then laughed as he ran off" nice outfit, I like"

Her face burned as she looked down and realized her shirt had been totally open "why you….IM GONNA KILL YOU JIRAIYA!"

The door slid open and a wall of noise swept over the two as Tsunade shoved a miserable looking Jiraiya inside the class room, two large lumps coming out of his spiky white hair and Tsunade still red faced but now wearing something a little more decent (but only a little more).

Tsunade huffed as she looked over the class "ung…all the usual rats" she sighed, looking the class over "the pervert, the shy one, the fatty…." Then she stopped as her eyes met suddenly with some very VERRY creepy golden eyes from across the class.

She blanched and turned pretending that she hadn't seen it but secretly eyeing the person as "it" had turned attention elsewhere " huh?" she thought as she smoothed her blonde hair pretending to be interested in making it shinier " a new kid? So strange…but interesting "she smirked "how fun…fresh meat"

The boy (so she figured out later) was sitting away from all the others, not participating in the daily mingling or speaking to anyone, just sitting at a far window seat absentmindedly staring at something between his hands which as she noticed as she crept closer was the same shade as his face and every other piece of skin that was available to her eyes, a pasty shade of white. She blinked so consumed in looking at this oddity that before she blinked noticed that he had moved with an almost liquid inhuman movement from where he had been sitting to right next to her, and those golden eyes of his were very and uncomfortably close to her own, his lips curving into a cold grin followed up by a crushed velvet like voice that stole into her ears and forced her to listen (as if she could have moved at all)

"I'm sorry to say but I don't like being spied upon much and especially by someone as green as you miss blonde "

her eyes widened and for what seemed like eternity she stared into those sharp golden eyes until he blinked and she was released, stepping back a bead of sweat dripping down her cheek

" w-what the hell did you just do? A-and who are you?" she stammered shakily trying to figure out what type of genjitsu he must have used on her, the head girl in the whole entire class.

The boy laughed rather unpleasantly sat down again and cast a bored glance across the filled up class room, as if the others he considered to be nothing more than ants and then turned his attention back to her, flipping his long silky black hair back behind his shoulder, making Tsunade very jealous and self conscious at the same time.

"You must be mistaken "he whispered "I did nothing...and as for who I am…" he looked out the window at the falling leaves outside, autumn coming early this year the green of the leaves turning golden brown "Orochimaru…just Orochimaru "then with a rather dismissing gesture of his hand he turned his attention back to what he had cupped in his hands. A bright black and red banded hissing snake which coiled around his wrist as he stroked its scales lovingly

"Say hi to snaky…"he grinned as the girl hastily retreated at the sight of the serpent and again he was left alone.

He didn't like these things at all, too much noise, to many idiots making it…he sighed and then reluctantly let the serpent slide from his hands outside by a crack in the windowsill as an instructor strode inside and stood upon the podium in the front of the class, harrumphing to get every ones full and complete attention…like he would get it, he narrowed his golden eyes and sat up waiting patiently for this to be all over, he wanted to find Hyuuga Hizashi afterwards so he could inquire about his eyes which were a very amusing white compared to his own, he wondered silently what they did.

" I will now read off the list of three man teams that have been selected for your missions" the instructor yelled, followed closely by a series of loud moans from the class " ahem! " the instructor flipped the page, looking over the rims of his black glasses and trying to scratch his head which was covered by a rumpled looking bandanna. " but before we do that, I'm sure some of you have noticed your new class mate and partner, um um " he flipped through the pages of names until he apparently found what he was looking for " Orochimaru Ka-Ka…" he blinked and then motioned Orochimaru to rise " what is your last na-" the instructor promptly stopped here as he felt a cold shiver run down his spine at the boys narrowed eyes, his soft voice carrying across the class all the way from the back " I have no last name…it is Orochimaru if you please…" he looked at the others which obligingly blinked back and then sat himself down again as the instructor still rather pale coughed and continued his reading " well then…Orochimaru it is um now to other matters…TEAMS! " he bellowed

Names went by his ears and though he didn't seem to be paying much attention to anything except count of the kunai in his pouch he noted mentally each of their names until finally his own name was mentioned and he slowly looked up "yes?"

The instructor narrowed his eyes and adjusted his glasses, making sure not to look him directly in the eyes…Orochimaru smiled…smart man. Orochimaru you will be teamed up with number 14 Jiraiya and number 23 Tsunade, a spiky haired boy sitting in the middle row choked on whatever he had been munching on and the blonde he had been amusing himself with earlier nearly fell out of her seat, he smiled.

" Is that clear?" he blinked, smiled eerily and stood up in one liquid movement showing he was rather good at this " crystal " he hissed and walked out of the room leaving his new team mates to their own designs to go eat lunch.

He lounged full length upon a high up twisted tree limb of a cherry tree and nibbled on the rice ball in his hand, his nose wrinkling a bit as he found the pickled plum in the center and then silently swallowing it and stuffing the rest of it in his mouth before he wiped his simple black pants and vest of rice and picking more of them out of the fish net around his throat and stomach and then was about to start on a large egg roll when he heard a annoyed screech a little ways from his perch and the egg roll in question stopped at his lips as he looked down to find the source of the noise stomping directly under him but not noticing him at all.

This is…"he smiled and set the egg roll back in his bento box next to him and narrowed his eyes " Tsunade" he whispered as the feisty blonde ranted and raved to the other of his team mates, the white haired one…Jiraiya if he remembered correctly, his eyes followed the two to a bench under him where the girl angrily sat herself and glared at her partner who ducked as if expecting something " its bad ENOUGH that I have YOU on my team but WHY did I have to get that…that snake eyed FREAK on my team as well? Ung…I'm in HELL!"

Orochimaru winced slightly and his long black hair fell in front of his pale face as he listened.

"Why couldn't I have gotten someone like…like the Ino boy or someone else…even Akimetchi…but really…I don't know what it is about that…what was his name again?"

Jiraiya scratched his head and smiled, apparently happy to have her on his team but trying not to look it "I think it was Orochimaru, geez that's a long name" he scratched his head and grinned "what's WITH you people and long names? "

He was shut up immediately by a snarling from Tsunade.

"He is the creepiest! Not only the eyes but the way he moves and…did you SEE his skin? It's as white as our paper! I swear he's some sort of monster!"

Orochimaru was silent, slowly taking all of this in

" so" a cold note seeping in to his voice as it rose making his presence known to the startled two bellow him " a snake eyed freak am I? …a monster am I? "his voice rose with him as one shaking hand removed a kunai from the pouch, his eyes burning with hate " then I will show you what a monster like me can do" he hissed as he leaped from the limb, twisting as he met the ground and grabbing Tsunade as she started and raised her fists and brought the kunai to her throat" take it back!" he hissed into her ear and then directed his cold eyes at the boy frozen before them but a deep rage stamped upon his face " let her go Orochimaru…" he swiftly removed three shirikan from his own weapon pouch and stepped forward but was stopped as Orochimaru pressed the tip of the knife into Tsunade's flesh and sneering as a bright red drop of blood dripped down and the splotch of red painted his white skin " im not joking "

Tsunade had gone almost as white as Orochimaru himself, he smiled coyly coming out of his simple rage to notice something this small meant he had already recovered his cool and began to calculate this

"So…your afraid of this aren't you blonde? "He whispered dripping her own blood near her face dropping the kunai "you are afraid of blood? What a silly- "

He suddenly stopped as Jiraiya threw the shurikan when Tsunade dropped to the ground having been released.

He twisted around so to avoid them and lost a strand of his hair as they thunked into the wood of the tree behind him "very good but not good enough "he ran sideways as the boy scrambled for more knives and began to make seals and smiled bringing his bloody fingers to his lips as the boy threw his shurikan at him "no good, its about to get hot"

And then something happened, even faster than his eyes could follow, a man appeared between them, deftly catching all of the thrown Shurikan upon the fingers of his left hand and with a lightening movement catching his fingers in a crushing grip and standing.

"I do hope that this was just practice boys" the man glared down at the two boys glaring at each other from each side of the man " because any more and you could have seriously harmed one another…" he looked down at Orochimaru, blinked and then opened his right hand enough to let the boys hands go " the seal of the tiger" the man muttered "defiantly NOT something to be used on your team mate…I don't know what you were taught growing up but here in Konoha we don't harm our team mates" he dropped the shurikan in Jiraiya's open hands and frowned at him as well " neither are these wooden toys anymore Jiraiya…I thought I taught you that" the man stepped forward and bended over and hefting the slowly recovering Tsunade from the ground " mmm I should probably send you to the infirmary, that scratch could get infected…and with your phobia of blood…it will take you a while…" with one last look at Orochimaru and then at Jiraiya he scooped up Tsunade's small form and walked back to the entrance hall leaving the boys standing wide eyed at each other and then each of them slowly relaxing though still living on strained nerves.

Jiraiya was the one who broke the silence first and through clenched teeth he spoke "uh, I'm sorry about that…I know you probably got upset about what Tsunade said right? Eheh…she kinda gets like that…I guess you get used to it after a while…shoulda heard the stuff she called me…and yeah well I kinda get protective over her when she gets like that…"

He went silent and made as if putting away his weapons was an important task as he waited for Orochimaru to speak and after a minute he did.

" well" his barbed voice hissed " If you want to protect her I suggest you figure out how to curb that tongue of hers or else I shall be forced to try and cut it out " he smiled at Jirya's scared face " I'm just kidding " he grinned rather amused with himself as Jiraiya blanched " I think I can deal with both of you for team mates for a while" he crooned as he walked after the strange man who had walked off with that little brat named Tsunade and made his way to the entrance hall as a small bell sounded for the choosing of instructors for the teams.

"Yes" Orochimaru thought darkly "he would have to deal with worse than these two if he was to forget his past and make sure the future he had dreamed up became reality…

And he would kill for it.
